I have a mailman rpm with a bug fixed by mailman in 2005, yet it is not
in the rhas3 yet.....indeed support tells me it may never be put in so I
have to patch it from the mailman tree....kinda blows away the reason
for getting rhas in the first place when I start to roll my own
solutions...........

This depends on your point of view. Not getting a mess created by
mixing repos is a benefit to a lot of folks. And while the Red Hat
Network provides software blessed by Red Hat, you can easily configure
up2date to access other repositories of software if you wish to do
that.

Recently? In my experience over the past couple of years I have not
noticed this to have happened. Do you have examples?

Red Hat's diligence in pushing out security errata is one of Red Hat's
strengths I think.
